Benefit Continuation During FMLA Leave Clause Samples
The "Benefit Continuation During FMLA Leave" clause ensures that employees on leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) continue to receive certain employment benefits, such as health insurance, as if they were actively working. Typically, this means the employer must maintain group health coverage for the duration of the FMLA leave, and the employee may be required to continue paying their share of premiums. This clause is essential for protecting employees from losing critical benefits during periods of approved leave, thereby reducing financial and health-related risks associated with taking time off for family or medical reasons.
